But I think what it indicates and what it tells us is that the Blue Jays value Lenine Sosa more than they did Tyler Fitzgerald.
You know, more than your typical waiver claim.
So I think that just kind of tells us something about what the Blue Jays think that Lenny and Sosa brings to their lineup.
And look, we're only two games removed from Lenny and Sosa having five hits over nine plate appearances over the first two games in Minnesota, right?
Like, I understand he had a couple of rough ones in Tampa, but he was swinging it against the Twins.
That was like earlier this week.
Yep, and the Blue Jays, I'll say this, haven't been hesitant to make rather quote-unquote dramatic decisions this year, whether it's removing Jeff Hoffman from the closers role in April, whether it's throwing an opener in front of Eric Lauer very early in the season, whether it's a mid-game benching of Tyler Heinemann.
So we have seen John Schneider take sort of very...
when now, what's the short-term upgrade moves this year, which to me puts a Davis Schneider optioning on the table.
As far as returning pitchers go, Jose Barrios had a rather disastrous rehab outing last week.
Meanwhile, Max Scherzer's status is cloudy.
He says that his forearm tendonitis is not improving at the rate that he expected it to.
Which of these situations do you think is more concerning for the Blue Jays?
Did Scherzer give any indication as to what next steps look for him?
Does he go to see a doctor now?
Is he going for another MRI?
Did he share anything like that?
All right, we will have to see where that goes on Friday.
Final note that I want to make here is that the Jays get the Angels this weekend, and there are two notable recent Blue Jays who will be in their bullpen.
